Because sin damaged men would rather accept a lie than submit to the truth, they stand in front of a mirror scratching, picking, and clawing at their faces in order to remove the image of God that is staring back at them. They are eager to erect a god fashioned in their own human likeness rather than to submit to the God who made them in His own divine likeness. They would rather worship an illogical idol in order to obtain intellectual independence than submit to the God of all wisdom. In so doing, they are willing to sell their souls for a bowl of soup.
